About This School

SUNY College of Technology at Alfred is a public institution located in Alfred, New York with approximately 3,563 undergraduate students enrolled. SUNY College of Technology at Alfred has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 76%. The average net price after financial aid is $15,016 per year. The graduation rate is 55%, and the typical graduate earns $45,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Worth considering if you're drawn to hands-on technical and technology programs and want to keep costs manageable — at $14,488/year average net price and just $12,000 in median debt at graduation, the financial picture is genuinely reasonable. The 53% graduation rate is a real concern, though, meaning nearly half of students who start here don't finish, so you'd want to ask hard questions about support resources and why students leave. If you're focused, have a clear career path in the trades or applied technology fields, and thrive in a small, rural campus setting, this school can work — but it rewards students who come in with a plan.
